Our Canine Conditioning course will improve your dog's core strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. We offer a Puppy, Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced Program. Our puppy program introduces puppies to different objects, surfaces and heights in a controlled and safe environment to build socialization skills and avoid fears of like objects and handling. Our beginner program teaches safe handling and proper stretching techniques to avoid unwanted injuries prior to learning the necessary behaviors to interact with our beginner obstacle course.
